So you wake up one beautiful sunny morning and say to yourself “Well, I didn’t really have any plans today, so why not eat those last two hits of acid.”
Eater sound a lot like Johnny Rotten in a rockabilly band. The band is dysfunctional now and All of Eater is just a bit of ego-tripping through the past.
He used to be part of Think Tree, Bongo Fury, et al. They’re supposed to be “bridging the gap between electronica and rock” (so says the press kit). Uh… no.
There are flashes of pure genius on Set You Free, but right when you sink deep into a sparkling moment of sonic bliss, the moment dissolves into generic pop.
